Howard University Occupational Therapy

[rachhdionn]

Hello! I am a junior in college and I would really like to attend Howard University for Occupational Therapy. Is there any advice anyone would like to give in regards to getting accepted? Current student stats prior to applying? Pre reqs? I would just like to get more insight from the students prospective.

Hi!
Stats:
GPA: 3.51 on OTCAS
Pre-Req GPA: Really not sure because it was different for each school.
GRE: 302 overall plus 4.0 writing
Observation: 140 in Pediatrics, 15 in outpatient, 45 in inpatient (geriatrics)
Extracurricular activities: Exercise Science club at Tennessee Tech University, Phi Epsilon Kappa honor society, nanny for a child with special needs.

Applied to: Howard University, UTC, UTHSC Memphis, and Midwestern University-Downers Grove
Accepted: Howard Uni
Rejected: UTC
Still waiting to hear from Memphis and Midwestern.

There was an interview that I had with Howard University over skype in early February and then a month later I found out I was waitlisted and then accepted! I would say that Howard looks at your whole application. I am proud of my GPA, but I feel like it's not outstanding and I did have one C in Anatomy 2. They seemed to look at my other stuff as a whole and my personal essay and I believe that is why I got an interview.

Have you heard back from UTHSC yet? When did you apply?

I applied to UTHSC in February and their deadline is March 5th. I just found out a few days ago that I have an interview with them on April 21st. I really like their program because it seems like they look at the whole application instead of just GPA and GRE.

Me too! I agree. As long as you keep in touch with them they will really look at your overall application to see that you made the effort.
